F'or the fans and supporters of
Elon's 1951 squad it was a season
of vivid moments, with the Christ
ians winning their third straight
Conference Crown. The Fighting
Christians had a season record of
16 victories against nine defeats,
and a conference mark of 13 wins
and two losses.
The pitching statistics showed
that Hank Hamrick won five
games and lost none, with one two-
hitter and two three-hitters, and
he was again named on the All-
Conference squad. Other pitching
aces who won All-Conference
berths were Leon "Lefty" Taylor
(5-1) and Austin Brewer (5-2).
Taylor had an outstanding game
in a 15-inning victory over East
Carolina, a marathon performance
in which he went the route, fan-
nid 16, walked only two, and gave
up only two hits. Brewer, fresh
man right-hander, pitched a couple
of two-hitters and was signed to
the Boston Red Sox, where he is
presently playing. Scott Ciuhken-
bush led the Christians at bat with
.329 average, and he claimed
position on the All-Conference
squad, along with catcher Hank
DeSimone.
Conference Divided
It was during the 1952 base
ball season that the North State
Conference split into two divisions
Elon, ?;ast Carolina, Atlantic
Christian, Guilford, and High
Point made up the Eastern Di
vision, while Lenoir Rhyne, Ca
tawba. Appalachian, and Western
Carolina composed the Western
Division.
During that season Elon Col
lege claimed 12 wins against three
losses to take the Eastern Di
vision. and Lenoir Rhyne took the
Western Division. Lenoir Rhyne
posted 12-2 and 7-1 victories over
Elon to claim both games of the
play-off championship. Charlie
'Wicegood opened that season with
neat two-hitter against Spring
field. and the Christians recorded
!6 wins against 12 defeats for the
year. Carroll Reid (.349). and Jack
Musten (.307) led the Christian
batting and also won All-Confer
ence berths. Swicegood made the
All-Conference team as a pitcher,
and Sherrill Hall had an excell-
ent 5-1 record.
Elon College again won the
Eastern Division of the North
State race in 1953, only to have
Lenoir Rhyne cop the champion
ship play-offs again, two games
to one. The Fighting Christians
posted a 14-2 mark in conference
play, and a 17-11 record for the
season. Charlie Swicegood pitched
H brilliant no-hit, no-run game
against Atlantic Christian to high
light the season. According to all
previous records found in re
search. this was the first no-hitter
in Elon diamond history and the
fnly one till Swicegood repeated
the performance against High
Foint this spring.
Four sluggers banged the ball
around to pace the Christian nine.
There was Carroll Reid, with a
.419 batting average: Bobby Stew
art, with a .369 mark: Jim Dalton,
with a .355 average: and Nick
Thompson, with a .340 percentage
The slugging talent of the four
produced All-Conference positions
for each of them, along with two
pitching aces, Charlie Swicegood
16-41 and Sherrill Hall (6-1). That
season ended the successful 6-year
coaching stint for Jim Mallory.
Mathis Directs Team
Coach "Doc" Mathis assumed
Ihe diamond coaching duties ii
1954, and Elon grabbed the Con
ference title, winning the eastern
division and defeating Lenoir
Rhyne two straight games tor the
crown. It was the twelfth North
State baseball title for Elon. the
fourth crown in six years and the
second in a row. Sports writers
ranked the team as the best in the
state.
The 1954 squad set a new high
mark for All-Conference honors,
placing four pitchers and three
other players on the loop honor
squad. The “Big Four" pitchers
on the .All-Conference were Luther
Conger (7-0), Sherrill Hall (5-1),
Hank Hamrick (2-1) and Charlie
Swicegood (4-2). Others on the
All-Conference team were Nick
Thompson. shortstop; Bobby
Green, outfielder; and Red Mc
Daniels, catcher. Hall, Conger and
Thompson were on the All-State
quad. Leading hitters were
Speedy Langston (3091 and Nick
Thompson ,(307).
Varsity INine
Tops Guilford
In Final Tilt
Ui;limbering all the offensive
guns, including a pair of back-to-
back homers, the Elon Christians
swamped the Guilford Quakers 19
to 0 in an often-rained-out game
that was finally played here on
Monday afternoon. May 16th.
Charlie Swicegood, veteran Elon
southpaw, was in rare form yes
terday as he let the Guilford
Quakers down without a hit or
run in the first five innings
Swicegood then gave way to Jack
Henderson, freshman left-hander,
who continued to spin the no-hit
magic through the sixth, seventh
end eighth innings. The Quakers
finally got to Henderson for two
singles in the ninth, one of them
£ perfect bunt down third base
line.
The Christian batters, mean
while, were pounding four Guil
ford pitchers hard, driving out
two homers, a triple and fifteen
singles, which combined with er
ratic Quaker fielding to yield the
19 to 0 victory.
